Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
